One thing I remember being gobsmacked by is finding that the
definitions I put into the <xsl:key> statement basically had little
relationship to the place or purpose I intended for the key() function
later. So, the <xsl:key> definition goes as a child element of the
<xsl:stylesheet>, but the key() function to call it can be anywhere
(and can refer to it in any context, with the 3rd argument available
in XSLT2).

You can't use xsl:key inside a template.

Why do you want to?
